RGH25F UHV, RGH20F UHV Ultra high vacuum compatible readhead systems Renishaw’s vacuum compatible optical encoders offer all the benefits of the established RG2 linear and angle encoder systems; non-contact patented filtering optical scheme, high accuracy and high speed. Renishaw’s vacuum range has been specially constructed from clean UHV compatible materials and adhesives to give low outgassing rates and a clean RGA. These readheads also feature reduced current consumption to minimise heat dissipation. The RGH20F UHV is designed for use with Renishaw’s 20 µm RESR angle encoder and high accuracy RSLR linear scale to provide precision feedback for motion in UHV environments. The RGH20F UHV and RGH25F UHV readheads are used with the REF interface which incorporates automatic gain control and unique self-tuning adaptive electronics. Combined with filtering optics, these ensure excellent signal integrity and low cyclic error. The REF interfaces are available with resolution options of 5 µm to 5 nm, as well as 1 Vpp analogue output. An integral tri-coloured set-up LED enables quick and easy installation. All of these readheads are supplied with an RFI screened UHV compatible cable as standard. • Clean RGA • Low outgassing rates • High bake-out temperature of 120 °C • Low power consumption readheads • Non-contact open optical system • Resolution to 5 nm • Low cyclic error, <50 nm • Self-tuning adaptive electronics give high accuracy and long-term reliability • Reads RGS20-S tape scale, 20 µm RESR angle encoder or RSLR linear scale

Open the catalog to page 4apply innovation " Self-tuning active correction The REF interface actively corrects for input signal imperfections to optimise system accuracy. Corrections are made for the following: Automatic Offset Control (AOC) - adjusts offset independently for the sine and cosine signals Automatic Gain Control (AGC) - ensures consistent 1 Vpp signal amplitude Automatic Balance Control (ABC) - adjusts the gain to equalise the sine and cosine signals These correction mechanisms operate over the full working speed range of the readhead. The user can disable/enable the AGC by pressing the CALIBRATE...
Open the catalog to page 5Data sheet apply innovation " Test schedule A quadrupole mass spectrometer (Thermo Onix Smart IQ+ fitted with a triple filter 300D UHV head), set to 250AMU scan range, was used to collect RGA (residual gas analysis) data and to measure total chamber pressure. After initial conditioning of the system, a background spectrum was recorded together with the total pressure in the test chamber. The component was placed in the vacuum chamber (0.015 m3) and the system was then pumped using an Edwards E2M18 rotary pump and a Seiko Seiki STP300 Mag Lev turbo-molecular pump (300 l/s) at ambient...
